Chapter 40: It's a pity

readx;

"Uncle Zhong, it turns out that you came here to be an administrator to find a niece and daughter-in-law?" Le Tong said with a smile. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Uncle Zhong smiled and said nothing, just when Le Tong thought that this topic was about to end, Uncle Zhong suddenly asked again, "Or, you two will make an appointment to meet tomorrow?" ”

Le Tong was startled, holding the cup in both hands, looking very embarrassed, "Uncle Zhong, this matter ......"

When Uncle Zhong looked at her expression, he seemed to understand something, and reached out to pat her shoulder with a regretful face.

"Alas, I'll just say, it's impossible for a girl like you not to have a boyfriend."

Le Tong actually wanted to say that I don't want to think about emotional matters for the time being, but since Uncle Zhong misunderstood, it seems that it is not bad to let him misunderstand like this.

"Uncle Zhong, I'm sorry!"

"Silly girl, what's so sorry about this, it's that I think my nephew is very good, and he should be quite compatible, it's a pity!"

Le Tong smiled, "Yes, it's a pity, such a good man is not mine." ”

For Le Tong, marriage and family are things she doesn't dare to think about.

Just like back then, she didn't dare to cry or couldn't cry.

"Uncle......" Someone on the counter wanted to borrow a book, and shouted loudly to this side, Uncle Zhong quickly got up and trotted over.

After dinner time, the number of people in the library gradually increased, and Uncle Zhong never had time to come over to catch up with Le Tong.

Le Tong stayed in the library until nearly nine o'clock, took two books and went through the borrowing procedures.

Uncle Zhong lowered his head to help her register, but asked in his mouth, "Tongtong, when will you come next time, I will ask my girl to bake some cookies and bring them over." ”

Uncle Zhong is very caring, and remembers that Le Tong likes to eat that kind of fragrant and crispy biscuits.

"I'll call you before I come." Le Tong was not polite, took the book and waved his hand to Uncle Zhong, and went out.

The library was still two stops away from Letong's small apartment, and Le Tong did not take the bus, wrapped his face with a scarf until only his nose and eyes remained, held the book in his arms, and paced slowly in the cold and windy night.

After being robbed a few days ago, Le Tong became very careful, and only put some small things such as tissues and combs in his backpack and a wallet with only a few tens of yuan in change.

At nine o'clock, Le Tong returned to the mouth of the alley, smelled the fragrance of roasted sweet potatoes, and was only fed a bread belly by the owner, and "gurgling" at the right time.

"Give me a sweet potato."

Le Tong felt that the man who roasted sweet potatoes was a little familiar, but for a while, he couldn't remember who this person was.

"Huh?! Is that you, just off work? The man seemed to recognize her, smiled at her, and stuffed the warm roasted sweet potato into her hand in a paper bag.

"You are?" Le Tong took a serious look at the man in his thirties.

"Oh...... I live across the street from your house and have been moving here for over a month......"

Le Tong then remembered that the apartment opposite, which had been empty for a long time, had indeed been moving around recently, and he had heard the cry of children from time to time, but he had never looked at each other.

"Oh, hello! How much? Le Tong lowered his head and took out his wallet.

"No, no, it's not worth a few dollars, just treat it as if I invited you to eat. My baby cries every night and argues with you, right? I'm sorry ......."

This man is an honest man at first glance, and a few members of the family are afraid that they will rely on this roasted sweet potato stall to earn some living expenses, how can Le Tong be embarrassed to eat for nothing?

I bowed my head and took out ten yuan in my wallet, put it down, turned around and left.

"Alas...... Alas...... Big sister ......"

Le Tong ignored him anymore, returned home with the warm roasted sweet potato, didn't bother to take a bath, first ate the fragrant sweet potato, and then went to take a bath satisfied, and then nestled in bed to read.

……

Early the next morning, Le Tong got up very early, because he was going to Luo Yuan'er's house as a guest today.

While brushing his teeth, he heard the faint cry of a child, which was probably from the child of the other family.

After washing up and eating breakfast, Le Tong put on his backpack and went out.

As soon as the door was opened, the sound of the child crying came in immediately.

Le Tong looked up and saw that the door of the house opposite was wide open, and a woman in her thirties with messy hair, carrying a child who was crying loudly, was pacing helplessly in the corridor while clapping her hands.

Seeing Le Tong come out, his face was slightly timid, "Sister...... I'm sorry, but the baby is arguing with you, right? ”

Le Tong shook his head, "No, I was just about to go out." What's going on with the kids? Why do you cry so much? ”

Le Tong walked over naturally, and saw that the child was crying heartbreakingly, his face was flushed, and he faintly felt that something was wrong, and reached out to touch the child's forehead.

At this touch, the hot temperature of his hand scared Le Tong a lot.

"Eldest sister, your child seems to have a high fever!"

The woman nodded embarrassedly, "It's a little ......."

"Why don't you take her to the doctor?" Le Tong thinks it's too incredible, the child is burned like that, do you still want to survive and pass?

The woman looked at her embarrassedly, "Her father is out of the house...... I...... I don't have any money......"

Le Tong had already closed the door, but when she said this, she didn't say anything, and immediately opened the door and ran home to get a card and run out.

"Eldest sister, let's go, I'll accompany you to the hospital."

"But......" the woman hesitated.

"Eldest sister, don't rub it in, I'll lend you the money first, the child has a bad fever, and the condition will be delayed if it's late."

Le Tong couldn't help but take her door around, pulled the eldest sister's arm and walked towards the stairwell.

"Acute pneumonia, fortunately, it came early, and if it was any later, it would be troublesome, and just like that, I had to be hospitalized."

Half an hour later, the doctor diagnosed the child and came to this conclusion.

Le Tong helped the woman pay a deposit of 1,000 yuan, and accompanied her to take the child to the inpatient department to settle down.

"Sister, thank you so much today, I will pay you back the money as soon as possible." The simple woman kept nodding her head in thanks.

Le Tong patted the woman's hand, "Don't worry, you take good care of the child first." ”

A few years ago, her mother's illness was also very sudden and urgent, so Le Tong understood a woman's situation and mood better than anyone else.

Luo Yuan'er's phone call came for the nth time, and Le Tong didn't listen to her phone because she had been busy registering the child to withdraw money and go through the hospitalization procedures.

"Tongtong, you're scared to death! Said to come at ten o'clock, no one was seen, and the phone was not answered, did something happen? Luo Yuan'er shouted worriedly on the other end of the phone.

"Yuan'er, there was a delay just now, I'll go over right now and meet and talk."

Le Tong didn't wait for Luo Yuan'er to say anything, and hung up the phone.

"Sister, I'm sorry, didn't you delay your business?" The woman looked cramped and apologetic.

"It's okay, I'll go first, eldest sister, take good care of the child."

After Luo Yuan'er and Le Tong met, Le Tong probably told her about it, and Luo Yuan'er patted her on the head, "Aren't you afraid of being deceived?" ”

Le Tong was silent for a moment and said, "Even if it's a fraud, it's only a thousand yuan, but that's a life......"
